"Hi I'm Lori Schneider from Figs Catering out of Austin, TX today on behalf of Expert Village we're going to show you how to make mini turkey and Parmesan burgers on pita bread. I've been in the culinary industry for about 13 years and through that time we made many dishes. In my catering business I'm always looking for new and unique ways to kind of recreate some of the same thing. For example, sliders. I love sliders and my clients love sliders especially when we have super bowl parties or tailgating. So one of the things I like to do is take sliders and make it into several different things. Today we're going to take sliders, the idea of sliders, and make it into a healthy option. So today we got mini turkey and Parmesan burgers with a De Jonge sauce. Today we have them on pita bread instead of the sandwich bread. In order to kind of help with the low fat. In this series we'll be making the turkey burger as well as taking care of the garnishes, warming up our pita and making a De Jonge sauce."
